New guideline promotes coherency in formalizing natural language requirements

Researchers have proposed a new guideline called "Coherency through Formalisations" for translating natural language requirements into formal languages. This principle suggests that different levels of formalization, from natural language to formal language, should maintain a similar logical structure. The approach is particularly relevant for using Large Language Models (LLMs) in reasoning tasks that can be verified by formal tools, with Structured Natural Language serving as an intermediate layer. The paper analyzes NASA's Formal Requirement Elicitation Tool (FRET) and offers an alternative automated translation from FRETish to MTL, demonstrating its equivalence through model checking and presenting findings that favor the new translation.

    Coherency through formalisations of Structured Natural Language, A case study on FRETish

    Formalisation is the process of writing system requirements in a formal language. These requirements mostly originate in Natural Language. In the field of Formal Methods, formalisation is often identified as one of the most delicate and complicated steps in the verification proce…
